Strict Measures on Organ Trading in Singapore

Doctors say strict measures are in place to prevent people from donating organs for money.

Getting to the operating theatre for a kidney transplant can take up to three months of checks when a living donor is involved.

At the National University Hospital (NUH), donors go for repeated interviews, medical checks and psychiatric assessments to ensure they are aware of the risks and are donating for altruistic (charitable) reasons.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan, MOH, also acknowledged that organ trading is a global phenomenon but said that except for Iran, most countries have largely banned the illegal trade. - CNA/ir
